Showcase Your Creative Excellence

The American Advertising Awards is the nation’s leading marketing and advertising competition. It all begins at the local club level, AAF Greenville’s annual AAF Gala! It’s a night to connect, present work you’re proud of, and be inspired by the wealth of creative prowess in our area.

Local entrants compete to win ADDY awards, which recognize the very best work in the Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson markets. Winners go on to compete at the district level, and from there can advance to the national AAF competition.
The awards cycle follows the calendar year, and entries are open beginning in November through the first of the following year.
